Joselito Reyes

Flavour: Cremo Bueno
Milky, classic Italian Hazelnut gelato topped with milk chocolate mixed with small cubes of crispy wafers. It’s simple but the secret is in the recipe itself: the balance between the flavours, taste and sweetness with velvety textures. It’s our signature flavour and our best seller as well; it deserved to be chosen to compete in Gelato World Tour

Claudio Bearesi & Cesare Cellie

Flavour: Pistacchio italiano con croccante di mandorla
Pistachio is the king of gelato flavours, being one of the first ever made by Mr. Procopio, the father of modern-era gelato. Together with other noble flavours like chocolate and almond brittle, completed with pine nuts, we obtain an Italian triumph which is able to communicate Italian culture from south to north, offering an incredible dessert without time.

Flavour: Royal Baklava

An Arabic spices flavoured low-fat base, rippled with traditional filo pastry, royal Oman Honey and selected local chopped nuts. This flavour is the gelato version of the very famous and typical Middle East dessert, a nut-filled multilevel pastry baklava. The Royal Honey has aphrodisiac and healthy properties. The low-fat base will compensate the richness of nuts and honey.

Massimiliano Neri

Flavour: Black Forest
Black Forest is made up of various layers of dark chocolate, with chocolate chips and black cherries between each layer. It is decorated with chocolate pieces and black cherries. Thanks to the use of water, and not milk, for the chocolate, the flavour can be enjoyed by people with lactose intolerance

Nazzareno e Silvano Giolitti & Andrea Lucatoni Giolitti

Since my childhood I was intrigued by this flavour that my father was preparing with a lot of passion. Once I was 18, finally with a driving license, I decided to visit Sicily, the land from where our suppliers were sending us the pistachios. I fell in love immediately with this great product and decided that my pistachio was going to be done only with nuts coming from this marvellous part of Italy. There was only a challenge to overcome, the natural brown colour of pistachio was distant form the common knowledge of the clients that were looking for a green products. The strong nature of Sicily gave me a great idea, why not to mix them with chlorophyll. It was the perfect marriage, a great pistachio with a distinctive natural green colour

Brown bread ice-cream is an old tradition in England and parts of Wales that was also moved to the new world becoming one of the home-made delicacies in New England. My recipe this traditional Anglo-Saxon crunchy flavour into the gelato world. Crosscultural enrichment can result in a particularly tasty produce.
